cat eye,

It is true more violence is commited towards women by men than the other way. It is very unfortunate. I have read many theories and discussed it in psychology classes I have taken. One theory is that men have more pressure to compose themselves emotionally throughout their lives. For example, young boys are often ridiculed by older men for crying and are called "sissies" and told to "grow up and be a man". etc. This ofcourse isn't healthy and may be why men end up expressing their emotions in anger often with great intensitiy. This is just one perspective of this that I can see some sense in. I hope this helps you to gain a different way of looking at men. I encourage you to seek out a professional to help you further.
